Don’t Shoot- An Opus of the Opulence of Blackness

We create platforms for, by, and about Black artists and thought leaders in our commitment to control our own narrative. Inspired by the story of a teacher who enlightened his photography class about the harms of using words adopted by the domain of weaponry, Don’t Shoot is a reclamation of power in not only our art, but our art spaces and art practices. Just as a still image is a suggested microcosm of space, each piece will create a narrative and share the complexities of life as a Black person by freezing moments in time.
